best for the money: Baer, Wilwood, Brembo?

Ive been looking at a couple different front brake upgrade kits. Wilwood, Baer, Brembo. Prices ranging from 700- 1400$ and was wondering if anyone had input on value. Is it worth paying double for a brembo GT kit, I mean will it generate that much more braking force for the money, or would a cheaper kit from Wilwood or Baer be just as good but a helluva lot cheaper? Anyone with kits out there wanna share their input?

There's a big discussion going.

In short, they're all basically pointless.
If you're gonna waste the money on it, spend the 2K on a StopTech kit that's tuned for the car's brake system but none of them are really worth it without a really valid reason, and there isn't a valid reason in the world you can come up with on the street.
